Warner Bros. has hired The Devil Inside director William Brent Bell to direct The Vatican. Written by David Cohen, The Vatican is said to be a "conspiracy driven thriller" that will use "some found footage techniques like The Devil Inside did".

The Devil Inside may not have won over the audience this weekend, but it was still a big financial success for Paramount who acquired the film for $1 million, so we aren't surprised to hear that William Brent Bell is lining up new projects. According to Deadline, Warner Bros. has fast tracked this project, so we should be hearing more about it over the coming months.
